See ==>> I am getting errors with my calibre library on a networked drive/NAS?

I suggest you copy the library from Dropbox to a local drive and see what happens there.

Thank you again, but that can’t be the problem. Although Calibre is in Dropbox it is downloaded to the Mac so the entire library including all the db files are on my MacBook.

I have three PCs all linked to the same Calibre Library in Dropbox. There isn’t a problem with those PCs. I need calibre to be accessible on those three PCs as well as my Mac so moving it to a non-network drive is not an option.

I just need to understand why calibre can’t actually see the library when it knows where the library is?
